Electronic pressure cookers are all the buzz right now. They’re safer than the old-school ones your parents have in their kitchen pantry and tout a list of improved features. But are they really that much different than the classic slow cooker you already own? To test the waters, we evaluated both with a focus on four different priorities: speed, versatility, learning curve, and taste. So, take a seat and see who comes out on top with this pressure cooker vs. slow cooker face-off. Round 1: Speed Why cook slowly when you can cook fast? Yes, the idea of prepping a meal in the morning and coming home to a house smelling of smoky chili or spicy tortilla soup sounds delightful. But, in reality, who has the time to wash and chop vegetables, brown meat, and clean up the mess before running out the door? Kudos to you if you prep the night before! Meals that take four to eight hours in the slow cooker can typically be made in less than an hour with an all-in-one pressure cooker. … [Read more...] about Slow cooker vs. pressure cooker face-off

The Oklahoma girl recently underwent skin grafting surgery, her mother said. (Vanesa Herrera) A young Oklahoma girl’s curiosity led to severe burns after she pulled a slow cooker off the counter when her mother wasn’t looking. Vanesa Herrera, of Blanchard, said she typically places her 1-year-old daughter, Azra, in her high chair while she makes dinner. But on Sept. 18, the day of the incident, Herrera placed Azra in her walker -- giving her the ability to move. The 1-year-old is now on the mend, her mothers said. (Vanesa Herrera) 'POLIO-LIKE' ILLNESS CASES SUSPECTED IN MINNESOTA: SHOULD YOU BE CONCERNED? As Herrera was taking items out of the refrigerator, she said Azra worked her way over to the kitchen island, where a Crock Pot was plugged in.

Using a slow cooker at the end of summer yields a tasty, nourishing meal while relieving you of the dread of standing over a grill or stove. (Don’t even mention turning on an oven.)Slow-cooking also allows for some extra play time once you get the ingredients in the machine and turn it on. Sure, making a meal of uncooked salads answers that call, too, and I do lots of that in the summer. But the slow cooker offers the contrast of long-cooked, developed flavors that I find myself yearning for after so much raw produce.This recipe takes advantage of the bounty of fresh in-season vegetables — green beans, eggplant, onion, tomatoes — by joining them with chicken thighs and a slurry of light coconut milk, curry powder, ginger, garlic and tomato paste. When I made mine, I set the timer for three hours, headed out the door for a leisurely walk in the park and then stopped for an iced coffee with a friend.

Aerial footage of the aftermath of the Hawaii volcano eruption shows what happens when ocean water splashes onto molten lava. The U.S. Geological Survey posted video to Facebook this week showing explosions when waves from the Pacific hit lava from the Kilauea volcano on the coastline of the state's Big Island. The combination sends up a cloud of steam, hot water and tephra, or "molten splatter," according to the federal agency. The mixture of ocean water and lava also produces a toxic cloud called laze that the agency says can irritate people's eyes, lungs and skin. The aerial footage the agency posted to Facebook was recorded around midday Monday. … [Read more...] about Video shows explosions as Pacific Ocean waves hit molten lava on Hawaii coast
